Confirmed from Riverside Greenway Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Waterside area with paved paths, a fishing pier and a basketball court, plus kayak launch.
What runners say about Riverside Greenway Trailhead
“This area is clean and very quiet and peaceful.”
“It’s a nice area to get some quiet rest by the river or enjoy a leisurely stroll.”
Part of the Carolina Thread Trail in Cramerton, NC. Nice short trail alongside the Southfork Catawba River that has a fishing pier and picnic shelter. Muddy in parts of trail but generally a clear concrete pathway. There’s also a small basketball court and restrooms at the end of the trail
I come to this trail almost every week. It's always peaceful and clean.
Lovely little walk area. Very quiet in the morning. Great place for a peaceful walk with dogs. Looking forward to seeing how it is in the summer time.
Nice little walk through Cramerton, easy pathway to navigate. Great place for a run!
